Coffee with Katie and Emily Ep.13: The Patriarchy Needs To Get Out Of My Uterus

Hi Legion! It’s Katie again!

Episode 14 is ALL ABOUT PERIODS. And Emily and I are super excited about it. The episode is available now on iTunes HERE and SoundCloud HERE!

Not only do we talk all about our periods, our preferred period care, birth control, PMS, personal horror stories, free bleeding, and THINX, we also give an entire overview of how periods physically occur thanks to the amazing information from Planned Parenthood’s website!

Emily and I decided that it was time for a strong episode about our bodies because we feel strongly that we need to normalize periods.

Why are we afraid/ashamed/embarrassed to talk about periods?! Why are men grossed out by our periods?! Screw that! As Emily pointed out, 52% of humans have periods and it should not be a taboo topic.

So come listen along, commiserate, and hopefully learn something along with us!

We would also love to respond to your relationship, love, dating, career, friendship, and life questions on our upcoming “Listener Questions” episode! (We never use last names and we are happy to use a fake first name if you’d prefer—Just let us know in your email.)
